DNA traces on medieval parchment reveal 3,700-year history of deadly sheeppox virus
Medieval manuscripts preserve genetic traces of a sheep disease that has threatened herds across Eurasia for more than 3,700 years, according to a new study. Researchers recovered ancient DNA from sheeppox virus, or SPPV, in animal skins used to make parchment...

Bronze Age barrow reused as Roman shrine and later execution site in England
A Bronze Age barrow became the center of a Roman rural shrine at Red Lodge in Suffolk, where people returned for ritual acts for centuries. Archaeological work recorded use from the Early Bronze Age through the medieval period. The main focus was a large round barrow later placed inside a Roman sacred enclosure...

The surprising origins of Britain’s Bronze Age immigrants revealed.
About 4600 years ago, the population of Britain was replaced by a people who brought Bell Beaker pottery with them.
Now, ancient DNA has uncovered the murky story of where these people came from.

So, in addition to demonizing #Matriarchal societies, #Homer took a stab at the survivors of the #BronzeAgeCollapse on #Crete by turning them into the #Cyclops! Not a surprise! I noticed that #Odysseus eyed the "Cyclops Island" as prime #RealEstate (like a typical #Colonist!). Of course the so-called "civilized" #AncientGreeks had to demonize peoples who had lived under female rulers or NO RULERS!
Were the Odyssey’s #Cyclopes Actually #Minoans?
By Caleb Howells, January 6, 2026
Excerpt: "Drawing on his experience sailing a replica of an Ancient Greek galley, Severin estimated that Odysseus would have reached the coast of Libya, specifically near the site that later became the Greek colony of Cyrene. This was the Land of the Lotus Eaters. From there, Odysseus resumed his journey back to Ithaca, logically sailing north toward Southern Greece. Along this route, he would likely have arrived at the southwestern corner of #Crete, where the peninsula of #Paleochora was once separated from the main island, forming a small offshore island.
"This scenario closely matches the Odyssey’s description of Odysseus arriving at a small island situated just beside the island where the Cyclopes lived.
How the Cyclopes match the Minoans of Crete
"Severin’s argument that Crete was the island of the Cyclopes is highly compelling. But how do the Minoans fit into this theory? Regarding the Minoan city of Kommos in southern Crete, Severin noted its abandonment in the Late Bronze Age and asked:
" 'What had happened to the survivors of Kommos and the other Minoan settlements along this coast? Could they have fallen back to the barest subsistence level, living in caves and practicing the sort of simple pastoral farming that Ulysses found among the Cyclopes?'
"In essence, Severin suggested that the Cyclopes of the Odyssey may have been Minoans who, after the collapse of their magnificent #BronzeAge civilization, returned to a #simpler, more primitive way of life. While Severin did not explore this idea in depth, a closer examination reveals there is substantial evidence for this."

#Matriarchy May Have Prevailed in #Minoan Civilization
By Maria Rybachuk, November 13, 2023
Excerpt: "The Minoan civilization, among the earliest and most advanced societies in the #BronzeAge, excelled in art, trade, and the prominent role of women.
"Women in ancient Greece were markedly disadvantaged in terms of rights, often confined to domestic and reproductive spheres. However, there were some exceptions such as ancient #Sparta. This city-state presented a fascinating departure from #patriarchal norm, showcasing women who were robust, independent, and well-educated.
"A more enigmatic occurrence involves the portrayal of women on Bronze Age #Crete. Several scholars concur that women held a notably dominant position compared to men. Thus, John Younger, professor of classics at the University of Kansas, noted that 'this culture on Crete around 1600-1500 BCE is the closest candidate for a matriarchy.' "

#FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

Scientists Have Uncovered Evidence Of #Ireland's Largest #Prehistoric #Hillfort Settlement

https://phys.org/news/2025-12-scientists-uncovered-evidence-ireland-largest.html

“In a recent study [(link above), the authors] identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort [Ireland], making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far. Subsequent test excavations revealed evidence of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age occupation as well as a potential water cistern, which may be the very first of its kind in an Irish hillfort…”

The Jews argued bitterly about whether to fight the Romans or acquiesce (give unter Cæsar reflects that, although it’s an anachronism). In the end fight won out, and they fought and lost bad in 70CE, as Mark’s gospel describes.
Why are the attackers barefoot & the defenders shod?

A black and white world for today's #StandingStoneSunday.
Aviemore 'Clava' cairn; the remains of a kerbed cairn (which likely had a central mound and chamber), surrounded by a free-standing stone circle. It's in a neat little suburban setting now, with glimpses of the Cairngorm mountains beyond.
This visit March 2011.

New study sheds light on Bronze Age family structures and genetics. Skeletons from a 3,800-year-old Russian steppe burial mound reveal polygamy for eldest brother, monogamy for others, and immigrant wives. Women had higher genetic diversity, indicating wider origins. #BronzeAge #FamilyStructure #Genetics

Off to the Isles of Scilly for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering. This double holed standing stone is in the Abbey Gardens on Tresco. (Portrait, needs a click)
Its folklore is that it was a prehistoric handfasting or marriage stone.
Visited June 2010.
